Being Deckoned by a man
Grabbed his gun and the way
he ran,
Up to the bank and opened
the door
Fired two shots and Duram fell
to the floor.

Then the shots began to fly,
l'eople there began to rave.
Under chairs and under tables
For their livrs-they wisbed to

The door came to and locked

lie stood there with many a

A gun fired, they're off for a

The glass was shattered all in

The victims escaped from a back

They were caught and marched
below.
And at their trial they heard
with tears
That their sentence was forty

KNOW THE TRUTH
it m
one dares to give you the facts!
Here are no idle claims -But PROOF!
COMPARE this positive proof of superiority with all
the exaggerated claims you hear about motor oils
now the facts can be told. We arranged with the Contest
Board, American Automobile Association, to test five
widely-known and advertised motor oils along with New
and Improved Conoco Germ Processed Motor Oil in a
daring "Destruction Test."
These six oils, a single fill of 5 quarts, with no more oil
added, in six brand new strictly stock cars, were driven
until the motor in each car was destroyed from lack of
lubrication. The first oil failed with motor destroyed at
1,713.2 miles others failed in rapid succession. The best
of the competing oils ran a total of 3,318.8 miles . . . while
New and Improved Conoco Germ Processed Motor Oil
lubricated its motor for a total of 4,729 miles! . . . more
than 3,000 miles farther than the first oil to fail . . . and
more than 1,400 miles farther than the second best oil.
Thanks to Conoco's Hidden Quart protection, this amaz
ing victory stands unchallenged!
This is evidence . . . these are facts . . . that should open
a new era of results and economy for your motor. Drive
into a Conoco Station or dealer fill with this New and
Improved Conoco Germ Processed Motor Oil. There's no
longer any guess about what oil is best for your car !
JWlMlfU TO NEW CAR OWNERS
Some car manufacturers are using new types of bearings which will
stand greater pressures and temperatures, resulting from increased
power and speed. New and Improved Conoco Germ Processed Mo
tor Oil has been exhaustively tested on these new bearings. The re
sults show that it gives them greater protection against damage than
many straight mineral oils now on the market.
Protect your new car by using the motor oil you can be sure of.
